Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 3916

By the time Alonzo is ready to take over the Ormond family business, Elora will be nearly fifty. If she marries and has children within the next two years, she could pass the family business to Alonzo and her own venture to her children within a few years. Only then could she truly consider retiring. Elora turned to Tatum. "Tatum, you must've known I sent people to Wiltspoon to investigate you, right? I couldn't find out that you're the sixth young master of the York family. Was that intentional? Did you not want me to know?" Tatum replied honestly, "No, I didn't know at first.

"He knew I came here to improve my cooking skills. If you had known I was the young master of Wiltspoon's wealthiest family, you probably wouldn't have hired me as your private chef. Without that opportunity, I wouldn't have gotten your feedback, and my cooking wouldn't have improved as much. Tell me, Miss-do you think my cooking has gotten better since I first started?"

Elora nodded slightly. His cooking had indeed improved. She hadn't gotten tired of his dishes, even after all this time.

Tatum pressed, "If you'd known I was the sixth young master of the York family, would you have still hired me as your chef?"

Elora hesitated. "...Probably not."
